MEMORANDUM

This is a pro se prisoner's civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On April
21, 2014, plaintiff was given twenty (20) days to amend his complaint to properly state a
claim against the defendants listed in his complaint or his action would be dismissed.
Plaintiff's motion for additional time was granted on July 7, 2014, and he was given an
additional twenty (20) days from that date to amend his complaint. Plaintiff has failed to
amend his complaint.

Therefore, this action will be DISMISSED WITHOUT

PREJUDICE for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted under 42
U.S.C. § 1983, and for plaintiff's failure to prosecute and to comply with the orders of
this Court. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); Jourdan v. Jabe, 951 F.2d 108 (6th Cir. 1991). The
Court will CERTIFY that any appeal from this action would not be taken in good faith
and would be totally frivolous. See Rule 24 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.

AN APPROPRIATE ORDER WILL ENTER.
